With the rise of online travel booking engines such as Agoda and Zuji, you might expect traditional travel agents to be looking for new careers.
随着诸如Agoda和Zuji一类旅游产品在线预订网站的兴起，你可能会觉得传统的旅行社需要转行了。
But not in Asia, thanks to travelers like Nicki Fung. A former Hong Kong resident, she has relied on the same travel agent for more than a decade.
但是因为有了Nicki Fung这样的旅行者，上述情形在亚洲并没有发生。十多年来她安排出行时找的都是同一个旅行中介。
'If I can route through Hong Kong via Cathay Pacific, I'll try to do that and have her handle the rest,' says Ms. Fung, who is now based in Beijing, where she co-founded the education company Vericant.
Fung曾经住在香港，现在住在北京，是维立克教育公司(Vericant）的创始人之一，她说：“如果我可以通过国泰航空(Cathay Pacific)飞经香港，我会尽可能这么做然后让她处理其余的事情。”
The reason for her loyalty? The travel agent 'thinks ahead for me,' she says.
是什么原因让她保持着如此的忠诚度？她说，这位旅行中介总是“想在我前头”。
Not only does her agent, Christine Chiu of Shalom Travel, monitor seat availability and handle last-minute schedule changes, but she also pieces together complex itineraries.
她的中介、平安旅行社(Shalom Travel)的Christine Chiu不仅密切关注着航班剩余座位并帮她处理哪怕最后一分钟的日程变动，也会帮助她整合复杂的行程。
PS：你喜欢出去玩么？通常你是找旅行社还是自助游啊？ |
